    500 Million Dollar Bet Ring Busted, Any guess which book?
    This from yesterday's NY Post....

    Anyone have any guesses which book this is?

    A mob-connected Internet gambling operation that was raking in 500 million a year has been smashed by Queen's authorities thanks in part to an undercover NYPD detective who infilitrated the ring, officials said yesterday.

    The 30 indictments handed up yesterday include reputed Gambino-associate, Joseph Fafone, the alleged leader of a sports betting ring that stretched from Las Vegas to Panama.

    The operation was full of cash that Fafone personally delivered $553,000 to a bettor at the Garden City Hotel, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.

    The Panama-based Internet gambling site continues to operate as it is out of jurisdiction operating as an off-shore industry.

                I wonder if the feds are looking at forums with BetOnline banners to handle more indictments.

                  Betonliner claims that they have no involvement in this but I think every online book has some online exposure.
